RIA: Russia's FSB said a Russian citizen was detained in Crimea, accused of passing intelligence on Russian air-defence systems to Ukrainian intelligence and plotting a terrorist attack on an infrastructure facility.

Interfax cited local officials as saying drones struck an industrial area in Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan.

The Times of Israel reported on the 12th that a State Dept official rebuked Israeli defense minister KATZ after he said Israeli forces would remain in security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza and had ordered preparations for a long-term deployment. The official said the remarks contradict Israel’s prior commitments and the agreed framework, warned a permanent presence in southern Lebanon would be inconsistent with those commitments and harmful to long-term peace and security, and reaffirmed US support for Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
